This Mascara is NOT for the Faint Hearted

When it comes to mascara I thought I'd seen it all, but the L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara really is the strangest looking lash contraption yet! It's not the easiest mascara in the World to use, but you can NOT argue with those results!

So, as far as wands go, it's as fiddly as fiddly comes. There's probably a knack to it, I just haven't quite mastered it yet. You're supposed to gently press the brush against the waterline, before combing the lashes. In an effort to achieve this and get as close as humanly possible, I usually blink or flinch and end up with mascara in my eye! But practice makes perfect with this one and I'm getting better. Forget everything you know about applying mascara. I usually coat both sides, do horizontal and vertical stokes, wiggle it about... DON'T! This one works best if you open your eyes wide, place the wand at the root of the lashes - the closer the better, and slowly comb upwards whilst gently closing your eyes. The formula is pretty wet so all you need is a couple of strokes and you're good to go.
